I'm assuming this is in reference to the 'duty' in the "Duty-Free" shops you find in airports. In that case, duty is the import tax that the retailer usually pays to import th…e item from wherever it may come from. This is different from sales tax, which is implicated in the store, and thus is collected by the state in which the item is being sold. Duty is implicated in the state or country in which the item was imported from. Therefore, when an item is "Duty and Tax Free" This means that the retailer did not pay import tax, and you will not have to pay sales tax, making the item much cheaper than it usually would be.

According to philosopher and ethicist John Rawls some of what he calls the "natural" duties" include these: .
duty of kindness, or to avoid being cruel .
duty to protect o…thers from injury or harm, especially innocents .
duty of helpfulness, however that may be defined .
duty to be just and advocate justice .
duty of being mutually respectful Rawls believes these natural duties should be fostered as the basis for humanity, separate from but in agreement with laws that we create. He believes the "natural duties" work together with "obligations" to form "requirements", that being the moral code each person should strive to adhere to as the backbone of human conduct. Moralists, ethicists, theologians, and philosophers throughout history have all searched to define the highest moral conduct and reasoning humans should use throughout life.

"Natural" means you do not do anything to manipulate your black/African American hair to change its texture (i.e. perm, relaxer, smoother, texturizer, etc. anything that r…emoves the kinks, curls, or waves). Some natural women don't even use hot tools.
